Mine is currently that I have to like them more than Monte Enebro cheese. Because right now? I’m ready to just marry the cheese and call it a day.

Although your version sounds more grown-up. Perhaps that’s what I’ll tell people.

My husband couldn’t be more like my father. From his dry sense of humor to his dark features to his incessant patience to his inevitable manner of saying offensive things about people WITHIN EARSHOT OH MY GOD KILL ME NOW.

That incomparable thing is true, though. I can’t say that I ever expected to marry a man who had so much in common with my dad, but there just wasn’t anyone else who could make me laugh and make me crazy and make me fall in love all at once. He’s nothing like what I had my list made out as (um, about that…) and he’s a nut, but he’s perfect for me.

When you find the right person, it’ll be worth the waiting and the wondering and the imagining a half-eagle bad-ass. Promise.

Actually, looking at the world – and all the events and people in your life – symbolically is useful in figuring out if what you’re doing is on “your” path. Like having a cashier remark on the cost of books by a writer you’d like to emulate calls your attention to the experience and the writer once again. Perhaps that comment was simply the universe telling you to pay attention to what calls you – in spite of fears.

One thing I’d add to your list – Not Annoying in the morning. And also – knows how to work a freaking alarm clock.

But, if these are the biggest irritations, I have it pretty good. Good luck to you. As much as I complain about him, I can’t imagine anyone else putting up with my bullsh*t.

The surest way to meet someone perfect is to fall in love (with them).

- an approximation of a quote contributed to that crotchety old guy from 60 minutes

Silly though it may seem, it’s worth pondering. Are they perfect because you love them or do you love them because they’re perfect?

I love my husband, which is delightful, and I like him, too, which is the second best thing I could hope for next to him liking me. He thinks I’m the bees’ knees. I look for *that* quality in a partner.

“No one else compares.” I can’t think of a more perfect way to describe happiness with another person.

nothing compares, especially when everything else was crap. for me, anyway. ha ha. actually, nothing compares, in my experience, to mine.

My mantra is similar to “nobody else compares.” When I need to sum up the Pretend Husband and why we work, I say, “I found the nicest guy I ever dated, and married him.”

I hope you are not waiting for someone to make you a sidecar. As it turns out, it is not only easy, it is budget-friendly when the brandy goes on sale.
